How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 ocfs2-kmp-default to version 6.4.0-150600.23.73.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ocfs2-kmp-default package and not the ocfs2-kmp-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: ipu-bridge: Fix null pointer deref on SSDB/PLD parsing warnings

When ipu_bridge_parse_rotation() and ipu_bridge_parse_orientation() run sensor->adev is not set yet.

So if either of the dev_warn() calls about unknown values are hit this will lead to a NULL pointer deref.

Set sensor->adev earlier, with a borrowed ref to avoid making unrolling on errors harder, to fix this.
